Run youtube-dl with a different Python installation than my macOS' default python?

[SuperHenkie]

• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.07.23
• At least skimmed through README and most notably FAQ and BUGS sections
• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones
• Question

I want (or rather, need) to run youtube-dl with a newer Python version. When checking my current Python version:

python --version says 2.7.10
whereas
brew info python says: python: stable 2.7.13 (bottled), HEAD

From many different resources I see a strong recommendation NOT to mess with my main macOS' python version, but instead install a second version separately. Which I apparently have done with brew already.

Question: how do I let youtube-dl use the more recent Python version that is installed through Homebrew, in my case v2.7.13 which resides in /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.13_1 ?
(as opposed to the macOS default older python installation which is in /usr/bin/python)

Can I somehow configure youtube-dl to use the other Python?

A possible way is adding an alias to .bashrc/.zshrc/...

alias youtube-dl="/path/to/new/python /path/to/youtube-dl"
